When pre-ordered, does the phone come with trackable delivery?

Going to get it delivered to work but if I happen to be out of the office need to know if has been delivered so I can have someone collect it safely from reception for me.

Also in the past has there been a cut off on the preorder day to gaurantee delivery on launch day?

Cheers

Yeah you'll be able to track delivery.

Well last year there was no pre orders but for the iPhone 5 I think it was within an hour delivery estimates started to get pushed back.
 
I've been waiting since June to upgrade my iPhone 4 am going to see what everyone's pros and cons are of both phones before I upgrade. Also I've been with Vodafone for two plus years is it worth speaking to them before I get quotes from other places ie carphone wherehouse .?

Also and possibly this isn't the correct form can I get iOS 8 on my iPad Air? As I'd didn't upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 7 as I'd been adviced not to as I knew someone who tried it broke their iPhone 4?


Advice would be greatfuly received:D:)
 
Hi all,

What time do the pre-orders for the iphone 6 begin on friday on the apple store and other carriers?
 
Hey guys! Wondering if you could help! - I'm going to be upgrading to iPhone 6 on Friday but obviously there's going to be an additional payment to make for the actual mobile.
I'm wondering if any of you guys can remember if the actual payment comes out on the Friday when you preorder or on release date?!
Thanks in advance for any help :)
 
I'm guessing that pre orders (direct from Apple) will start at 8am UK time. That what happened for the 5C, iPhone 5 and the 4S. When its midnight in California its 8am here.

Correct.

Also I was able to get into the store from the App Store app on my phone before I could do it on my Mac.
 
Waiting on network prices. Just out of contract with EE who've been crap so they're all in contention this year.
Undecided between 6 and 6+. Got an iPad Air too so 6+ may be overkill?

Its going to depend on the network if you are not buying it from Apple.
 
Anyone considering buying on o2 Refresh? Is it better to buy from the apple store directly or from o2 refresh, considering I can pay off the phone if I want to?

Also, when ordering with o2 refresh, can we pick it up in store or do they deliver?
 
Well, after a couple of months with battery issues - my iPhone 5 now has a Sleep/Wake button issue.
Apple has a replacement program for both issues for a free repair - so I'll have to hold off selling my phone to a recycling company for a little while.

I'll order a return box from Apple mid next week, and then ship it out once I've got my 6 all set up.

So hopefully the recycling price won't drop too too much in that timeframe.

How much is apple offereing for a 5 64GB; I cannot access the site currently.
 
Can you reserve for store pick up in the uk?

The apple store site just states they are on sale form 0800.

Did you get there before opening?

As far as I am aware Apple have never offered any kind of reserving facility in the UK. The options if you are ordering direct from Apple to get it on launch day is going to be pre-order for delivery or q'ing at the store.

Assuming its a: Black iPhone 5 64 GB, in perfect condition and unlocked the quote seems to be - £220.00.
 
Think I'm going to go for the 64Gb iPhone 6 in Space Grey too. I am a little annoyed that there are some extra features in the Plus that aren't in the 6. But at the end of the day the Plus is just huge, far too big and i know i will hate using it everyday.



I suppose though you get 32Gb more storage for less money then last years 5S, so thats good.


The lack of OIS on the 6 is annoying as having tried it on a friends phone with it, it does seem to make a lot of difference to the results in low light conditions.
 
Having thought about it gonna get the iphone 6 plus at 64gb in space grey instead of iphine 6
 
UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

Think I'll be queueing for it, I'm off work that day for a long weekend so should work out nicely just need Vodafone to release their tariffs before I decide.

Too many decisions to make this year!! How to buy and what to buy?

Am just out or almost out of contract with Orange from purchase iPhone 5 but sold it last year and bought the 5s last year outright sim free from Apple. Bought 5s on interest free credit card and paid off now. I could the same as still have 6 months interest free left and drop my tariff to sim only or I could take out another 2 year contract :mad: and pay less for the phone (ideally around the price I sell the 5s for).

More confused though re which to buy. I definitely want to go for 128gb as my 64gb is full. 6+ will be tempting but not sure I want a phone or screen that big.............just the additional battery power. Or will that be used up power the larger display etc? I use a lot of battery power taking photos. iPhone for me is really a camera that I can make calls and check e-mails and FB on :D

For this reason I may wait until I can get to a store and feel both in my hands. Maybe when the Edinburgh Apple store finally opens. And then do I change colour from gold to space grey?

Or do I get :apple:WATCH next year instead :p

Am undecided! Unlike the Scottish Referendum ;)
 
I am currently on a £10pm sim only with Tesco Mobile. I bought the iPhone 5 outright when it was released 2 years ago. I am tempted to buy the iPhone 6 64gb outright... but I am out of touch of what contract prices are for new release iPhones these days.

Can someone give me a rough indication of what they expect the contract costs to be. i.e. did anyone buy a iPhone 5S on contract on release last year?

Thanks
 
Hello guys,

First time I join a thread before purchase!:)

I opt for the pre-order, 6+ 16GB.

Seems I gotta wake up early Friday.
